CW33 Mainboard

The 1stMainboard CW33 is a microATX sized Socket 370 Mainboard support-

ing the Intel® Celeron™ PPGA 300A-500 MHz processor. A highly integrated

and feature rich Mainboard it offers the very latest in cutting edge onboard

features. Based around the advanced architecture of the new Intel® 810 chipset,

the 1stMainboard CW33 is equipped with high quality onboard audio and

video capabilities.

The onboard video function benefits significantly from the state of the art

Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), which ensures more efficient

use of the system memory. The DVMT feature builds upon AGP technology

to automatically size video memory to meet the appropriate functional and

performance requirements of any application.

With the advanced new Suspend to RAM function (must run an operating

system which allows ACPI, such as Windows 98), all data is stored to the

DRAM when the system goes to suspend mode- greatly reducing the system’s

power consumption. When the system is woken from the suspend mode, all

data is instantly available, meeting the user-friendly requirements of the

1stMainboard Instantly Available PC. The CW33 also supports the Ultra

DMA33/66* protocol and its high-speed interface, which significantly im-

proves hard drive performance and data transfer speeds. This is especially the

case for long sequential data transfers typically associated with audio/visual

applications.

The 1stMainboard CW33 boasts a complete range of standard I/O connec-

tions including the new Audio Modem Riser Card connection, TV-Out pin-

header, Digital Flat Panel pin header, VGA connector and Media connector.

Other advanced features include Auto Power Failure Recovery and Keyboard/

Mouse Power On. The 1stMainboard CW33 has 3 PCI expansion slots, 2

DIMM for up to 512 MB of SDRAM, and is PC98 and Y2K compliant. The

1stMainboard CD Pro provides users with easy ‘one-touch’ access to the

latest advanced onboard drivers.

Overview

ACPI Ready

This mainboard fully implements the new ACPI (Advanced Configuration and

Power Interface) 1.0 Hardware and BIOS requirement. If you install ACPI aware

operating system, such as Windows 98, you fully utilized the power saving

under ACPI.

It is compatible with all other none ACPI operating systems. If you want to

setup ACPI feature under Windows 98, please follow the description below:

Run Windows 98 setup by using setup/p j on the command line for installing

Windows 98 with the ACPI control feature.

If you type setup without the parameter /p j, Windows 98 will be installed as

APM, PnP mode, no ACPI will be used.

For more detail information, please visit the web site of Microsoft. Its address

is: www.microsoft.com/hwtest/.

The major features of ACPI were listed as follows:

■Soft-Off Support

The mainboard’s Soft-Off feature allows you to turn off your computer

using the operating system. This feature requires a power supply witha

soft-off power controller.

■Remote Ring-On

The Remote Ring-On function allows your computer to be turned on

remotely via a modem while it is in sleep mode. This feature is particularly

usefully when you are expecting a fax late night and leave only your

modem on to minimize power consumption. As soon as possible the phone

rings, the modem automatically turn on the system, which answers the

phone and downloads the fax. Then the computer shuts off again, thereby

minimizing its consumption of power. The Remote Ring-On function

requires a power supply with a soft-off power controller.

■RTC Alarm

The RTC alarm feature allows you to preset the computer to wake-up at a

certain time allowing you to implement a number of useful functions, such

as automatically sending out a fax late at night.

Chapter 2

Installation Procedures

The mainboard has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to

configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information

on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

■ Step 1 - Set system jumpers

■ Step 2 - Install system RAM modules

■ Step 3 - Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

■ Step 4 - Install expansion cards

■ Step 5 - Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply

■ Step 6 - Set up BIOS software (see Chapter Three)

■ Step 7 - Set up supporting software tools

WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the mainboard. When

using an electric screwdriver on the mainboard, make sure that

the torque is set to the allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.

Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit

(IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from harming any of the

mainboard’s sensitive components, you should follow some

precautions whenever working on the computer:

1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.

2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC

||||chips, leads, or circuitry.

3. Wear an anti-static wrist strap which fits around the wrist.

4. Place components on a grounded anti-static pad or on the bag

that came with the component whenever the components are

separated from the system.

1). Set System Jumpers

Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jump-

ers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different

function. A “1” is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. To set a

jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pin/s

according to the required configuration. A jumper is said to be shorted when

the black cap has been placed on one or two of its pins. The types of jumpers

used in this manual are shown below:

NOTE: Users are not encouraged to change the jumper settings

not listed in this manual. Changing the jumper settings improperly

may adversely affect system performance.

Installation Procedures

1). System Bus Frequency Select, CPU Ratio Select,

2). CPU Fan Installation

This connector is linked to the CPU fan. When the system is in suspend mode, the

CPU fan will turn off; when it reverts back to full on mode, the fan will turn back on.

Without sufficient air circulation, the CPU may overheat and cause damage to

both the CPU and the mainboard.

Damage may occur to the mainboard and/or the CPU fan if these pins are

incorrectly used. These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these

pins.

5). Load BIOS Setup Default

Load Fail-Safe Defaults

BIOS defaults contain the most appropriate values of the system parameters

that allow minimum system performance. The OEM manufacturer may change

the defaults through AMIBCP before the binary image burns into the ROM.

Load Optimized Defaults (recommended)

Selecting this field loads the factory defaults for BIOS and Chipset Features

which the system automatically detects.

1. Format a bootable system floppy diskette by typing the command format

a:/s in command mode.

2. Visit the the web site of the vendor and visit the BIOS Update page in the

related Technical Support section.

3. Select the BIOS file you need and download it to your bootable floppy

diskette.

4. Insert the bootable diskette containing the BIOS file into the floppy dis-

kette drive.

5. Assuming that the floppy diskette drive is A, reboot the system by using

the A: drive. At the A: > prompt, run the BIOS upgraded file by executing

the Flash BIOS utility and the BIOS file with its appropriate extension.

Do not turn off or reset the computer during the flash process or if there is

a problem.
